A lot of my ports are ISC products, and they have the following: http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/COPYRIGHT.txt I also have dns/fpdns which has this: http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/LICENSE.txt which looks like it could be BSD, but I'm not sure. I also have several others in this category. net-mgmt/p5-Net-IP has http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/COPYING.txt which could fall into the "perl" category, except there isn't one. :) Then there is security/libassuan which seems to be dual licensed under GPLv3 and LGPLv2, did we ever decide how to handle that? textproc/htdig is so old that it is using LGPL 2, but there is only an LGPL21 in bsd.licenses.db.mk x11/xscreensaver doesn't have an explicit copyright/license file, but it has this in the individual files: * xscreensaver, Copyright (c) 1991-2010 Jamie Zawinski * * Permission to use, copy, modify, distribute, and sell this software and its * documentation for any purpose is hereby granted without fee, provided that * the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that * copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting * documentation.
